 zh-cxterm-5.0.3
 Information for zh-cxterm-5.0.3:
 cxterm is a xterm replacement with Chinese (Simple/GB and Complex/Big5)
 support.
 
 Tried on both XFree86 4.2.0_1,1 under FreeBSD 4.6 and 3.3.6 under FreeBSD 4.5
 None of these ENV was set.
 
 Two (2) problems:
 (1) Just simply use mouse to highlight the file name and paste into command line.
     This fails on both FreeBSD 4.5 and 4.6.
 (2) Chinese input mode --
     (2.1) under FreeBSD 4.5, it is able to locate the word, but it fails to upload
 the work onto
     command line. Uploading chinese character into a txst file opened by cvi works
 fine.
     (2.2) under FreeBSD 4.6, tcsh has the same problem. Furthermore, the cxterm has
 
     another bug, which only has two input modes F1 (ASCII) and F2 (internal code).
     F3 and F4 (spelling mode) are not funtioning, but this is not the tcsh problem.
